QUILTING CULT




I got to host the fifth semi-organized-officially-fun Quilting Cult Retreat last weekend. We had 11 there Friday night, eight slept over - including me. I'm so excited I finally got the applique done on Breezy's baptism quilt (she was baptized in August). I hope to have it finished next week. Kellie got the prize for finishing a project first - again. That girl rocks! She finished two projects and started two others, that I know of. Carolyn got the prize for the first wound (it included bandaids) but she really should get the prize for the most helpful and best teacher. She helped Donnalee learn how to use her new machine and put the binding on her quilt. Jeana got most of her pink baby pinwheels done, Sharon and Carol just worked quietly. I'm sure they finished a bunch. Sandra must have trimmed five-hundred half-square triangles. Toni finished two great bags and started the cutest Buggy Barn witch quilt, and Audrey did some darling scrapbook pages (we're not real picky about who we run with, we just want to have fun). Oh, and we ate.....Hawiian Haystacks, Breakfast Casserole, Croisant Sandwiches, Brownies, Cake, Candy aaannnd Smart Cookies - "I could eat just one of them!"
